“Behind the Redwood Curtain” has a certain meaning that has NOTHING to do with the Wizard.

I really goofed on that one!

Time expired on the deal, but looks like it's been extended for 4 more days . So to celebrate, I ordered one more!

I ordered one just before the original sale ran out. If it looks good, it’s going to very hard for me to keep from ordering more. Especially with the ENB battery bank I have in transit….

You are right. These cells are perfect for the battery banks. I particularly like the ENB 3 cell. The triangular configuration of the 3 cells makes is compact and additionally it can be used as a charger. Perfect for charging 3 cells at a time for lights like the FandyFire Warrior. And I don’t worry too much about over discharging unprotected cells in the Warrior because it starts blinking when the cells are run down.

Most packs are pretty easy. There is no “correct” way to do it but there are some wrong ways. Don’t just bash them because the protective covers on the cells can be ripped fairly easily. General I pry open at the seem and proceed to snap parts of the hard plastic off as I go.

[Sold out] 8 Purple Samsung ICR18650-28A $10 shipped

Hi all, I’ve been lurking here a while and taking advantage of Deal Alerts and thought I’d finally join and contribute one of my own. Bought this pack the other day and inside were 8 of these purple Samsung batteries. On the outside of my pack was a “manufactured oct. 2010” date stamp. Unfortunately after reading HJK’s review it sounds like I won’t get the full 2800mah out of them with my charger, but at $10/pack or $1.25/cell it still seems like a great deal. The sale ends in one day per the…

Tom, this my first battery pack. My question is are the batteries connected together with welded tabs? If so, are they easily removed without damage. Do you dremel them off, or just leave them on cutting away as much as possible?

I got one…pretty sweet deal!

Just trim them if you want more height, a la mini-button, or grab the tab with needle-nose pliers and roll it off like opening a can of sardines with a key. (Do they still make those?) Then gently file down any sharp bits.

The convex side of a pair of diagonal cutters is good for burnishing down the edges if you leave some tab on the positive end.
